FUND MANAGER'S COMMENT - François Lavier - Alexis Lautrette - Sergio Gallo AT1s in OAS tightened by -23 bps to 317 bps according to Bloomberg Barclays Global Index. April has been a very good month for credit and Financials. The earnings season for the 1Q21 which has started is confirming what we thought and were saying, basically that loan loss provisions will decline in 2021 and net earnings should increase. So far, it was confirmed with many management of banks being much more confident on their outlook and with some normalization earlier than thought in some countries. Credit Suisses released a final loss of CHF4.4bn for Archegos during its Q1 results and announced a convertible issuance to strenghtened its CET1 ratio, and unpleasant story but at the end totally manageable for the bank. Piraeus Bank has been able to exceed its target in terms of capital increase with Eur1,4 bn raised (vs 1 bn targeted initially). Good to see that entities in need of capital to accelerate their balance sheet clean-up are being able to raise without any difficulties money in the markets. The M&A front was active even if limited in size. Credit Agricole was able to buy 92% of Credito Valtellinese, KBC is willing to sell its performing loan book to Bank of Ireland, which, after the current retreat of Ulster Bank from Ireland (selling performing loan books to AIB and Permanent TSB) is concentrating the Irish banking market into 3 entities, good for margins. The Legacy part of the universe remains active with call of "old-style" Tier 1 bonds from Natwest, Socgen and Deutsche Bank. The primary market, excluding covered bonds, totaled 16 bn€ in gross issuance according to Barclays, with net bank issuance totaling +1 bn€ over the months. Since the beginning of the year, gross issuance has represented 113 bn€ and net issuance +28 bn€. In Lazard Capital Fi, the most important contributors to the performance have been AT1 and RT1 with +1,32%, banks Tier 2 with +0,43% and Legacy with +0,16%. By country, the most important contributions came from Spain (+0,34%), Germany (+0,26%), UK (+0,26%) and Greece (+0,19%). By issuer, Deutsche Bank AG with +0,18%, Barclays PLC with +0,12% and Credit Suisse Group AG with +0,11% are the most important contributions.
